It is true read bellow and go to that site also for more information
The EU, US, China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and India have joined together to fund a Fusion Reactor in France. .The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) will be built in Cadarache, in southern France. The entire project is worth about €10 billion ($13 billion) and is expect to run for 30 years. "This is a truly crucial moment, for the ITER project and for global scientific co-operation in general," EU Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik said at the signing ceremony.
It's encouraging to hear there is still interest in Fusion power plants, though there are many hurdles. Cleaner and potentially more powerful than Fission, Fusion has been in the doghouse since midnineties reports of cold fusion that eventually were discredited. I think we could do better than 10 Billion, but I guess it's a start.

Every five years or so it seems someone else tries.
They have a theory and they test it out.
None of them have been successful so far or we would be building them in the US by the following business day (And construction would start on a weekend in Calif.)
When we get it... you will know.
